Subject: RE: BS: Looking forward to spring, how about you
We look to be in for a dry spring to match the dry winter we had. We are smack in the middle of daffodil season--the early one's are gone the middle ones are prime, and the late daffs are in bud. My earliest tulips are in full bloom, as are the old heirloom hyacinthes that I have never been able to identify. The dwarf iris--some crested and some reticulated are just about finished. Common speedwell, henbit, purple deadnettle, bulbous buttercup carpet the yards of people like myself who don't put much effort into lawns.

But you sure can tell it's dry.

Temps have moderated to daytime sweater weather and nighttime jacket weather. I'm waiting to see the redbuds and dogwoods start blooming in yards and along forest edges.

I've seen pictures of drifts of English Bluebells. They are lovely.
